Preceded in death by his parents, his loving eternal partner Doris Ellenburg and his sister Nancy Joyce Puff.

Jerry was a graduate of BYU with a degree in accounting. He worked as an accountant for BYU for many years. He also worked at the missionary training center at BYU.
Jerry was a kind and loving man, that would help anyone anytime he could. He was called a true gentleman at Wentworth Assisted Living, where he spent his last 2 years of life. He was a caregiver for our mother and for his beloved partner Doris. He was a true example of a really good man. He will be greatly missed. We all loved him very much and the children affectionately called him Grandpa. His dry sense of humor will be missed, as well as long discussions about politics. Our love goes with him on his journey.
